Method

Preheat a deep-fat fryer to 180°C.

Mix 280g flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, chilled beer, and enough sparkling water for a smooth batter.

Let batter rest for 10 minutes then gently fold in whisked egg white soft peaks.

Toss chicken strips in 50g flour, then dip each piece into the beer batter.

Fry chicken for 8 minutes until golden-brown, then drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.

Combine chicken, lemon juice, chilli powder, and salt in a bowl; refrigerate for 20 minutes.
